Immunosenescence is a biological process featured by the structural and functional decline of immunity in ageing people,which favors the carcinogenesis by rendering the body's immune surveillance and tumor escape.Decreasing clearance of tumor cells by macrophages and natural killer cell reflects the immunosenescence of innate immune,also,the tumor antigen presentation ability of dendritic cell is decreased.While,the decline of the CD8 + T cells cytotoxic effect and the secretion of tumor growth factor accounts for the immunosenescence of adaptive immunity.Intervention of immunosenescence may produce the novelty ideas of prevention and treatment of cancer.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), as the seeds of tumor metastasis, manage to escape from immune clearance both in microen-vironment and in peripheral blood. CTCs can also facilitate formation of pre-existing environment, which is the crucial step in metasta-sis. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), as a group of immunosuppressive cells derived from bone marrow cells, may play a key role in this process. In this review, the progress in MDSC and its role in the formation, survival, and immune escape of CTCs were exten-sively discussed to explore a new target for tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To discuss the short-term clinical curative effect of laparoscopic colorectal cancer radical resection for rectal cancer. Methods Clinical data of 50 patients with rectal cancer underwent radical resection from November 2015 to November 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 27 cases underwent laparoscopic radical resection (Laparoscopy group), the other 23 cases underwent radical resection (Laparotomy group). Then observe and record the operation time, tumor diameter, specimen length, number of lymph node cleaning, time of ambulation, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative defecation time, postoperative complications and postoperative eating time of the two groups. Results The tumor diameter, length of specimens and number of lymph node dissection in laparoscopic group were (3.8 ± 1.4) cm, (18.5 ± 2.1) cm and (7.2 ± 3.1), while in Laparotomy group were (3.9 ± 1.4) cm, (18.6 ± 2.3) cm, and (7.7 ± 3.4), the difference has no statistical significance (P > 0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, ambulation time, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative defecation time, postoperative eating liquid diet time, postoperative hospitalization time in laparoscopic group were (105.3 ± 23.8) ml, (140.2 ± 22.3) min, (4.0 ± 1.2) d, (6.0 ± 1.5) d, (3.0 ± 1.0) d, (3.5 ± 0.5) d and (4.0 ± 1.0) d, while in Laparotomy group were (210.4 ± 21.3) ml, (118.9 ± 20.7) min, (4.5 ± 1.1) d, (7.8 ± 1.2) d, (7.0 ± 1.6) d, (8.1 ± 2.0) d and (10.0 ± 3.2) d, there was significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer is safe and effective. It can achieve radical tumor resection, and intraoperative less bleeding, faster postoperative recovery, shorter hospitalization time.

Objective To evaluate the metabolic characteristics of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in isolated postchallenge hyperglycemia(IPH) and to clarify the factors responsible for the development of IPH. Methods(Eight hundred) and fifty subjects were classified into the following three groups based on the results of a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT): normal glucose tolerance(NGT),n=557;isolated impaired glucose tolerance(iIGT),n=146;and IPH,n=147.Insulin secretion(insulinogenic index) and insulin sensitivity(insulin sensitivity index) were identified in the three groups. Results From NGT to iIGT and IPH in these subjects,the insulinogenic index and insulin sensitivity index were gradually decreased(P

AIMTo investigate the correlation between the gastric adaptive cytoprotection and the low concentration alcohol intake in a chronic drinking rat model and the effect of chronic ethanol exposures on the cell turnover of the gastric mucosa and its possible role in adaptive cytoprotection.
METHODSSprague-Dawley rats received the drinking water containing 6% (v/v) ethanol as their only water intake for 28 days. In the different stages of the 28 days (1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th days), the stomachs of the rats were cannulated and perfused with pure ethanol, and the severity of mucosal lesions was measured in 2 hours at the end of perfusion respectively. The cell proliferation and apoptosis in gastric mucosa of rats in different groups were analyzed by flow cytometer, immunohistochemistry and computer image analysis.
RESULTSPure ethanol caused ulcer and haemorrhagic damage in the corpus and antral mucosa of the control rats. These lesions were prevented by pretreatment of the animals with ethanol exposure in the 3 rd to 14 th days. The damage index was decreased by 80%, as compared with those in control rats. There was no significant difference in the rats exposed to the ethanol in the 1st and 28th days. Compared with control, the cell apoptosis in gastric mucosa of the rats was enhanced during they exposure to the ethanol in the 3rd to 28th days. Otherwise the cell proliferation was increased in the 3rd to 28th days, and decreased in the 28th days, respectively.
CONCLUSIONChronic adequate alcohol intake may enhance the cell turnover of gastric mucosa and lead to an adaptive cytoprotection. Long-term stimulus with the low concentration ethanol may cause the atrophy of gastric mucosa and reduce the gastric mucosal cytoprotective effect.

Immunosenescence is the decline in the structure and function of the body's immune system that involves organs, cells, im-mune factors, and regulatory networks. Decreased immunity and immune clearance, caused by immunosenescence, are key contribu-tors to tumorigenesis. This article begins by introducing the concept of immunosenescence and provides a comprehensive description of the relationship between immunosenescence and tumorigenesis. We also discuss the influence of the various components of the immune system on tumor incidence. Finally, the article provides ideas for immunosenescence intervention aimed at the prevention and treatment of cancer.

BACKGROUNDWith aging, the human fracture risks gradually increase. This is mainly due to the corresponding changes of the biomechanical parameters of human bone presents with aging. We measured the microstructural parameters of lumbar bone from women in several age groups by micro-computed tomography and scanning electron microscopy. We observed changes in lumbar cancellous bone mineral density and in biomechanical parameters with aging to elucidate the relationship between age and risk of fracture. We provide theoretical support for human pathology, fracture risk increased with age and the individualized of each age group.
METHODSThirty-two fresh L3 vertebral bodies were donated from 32 women, aged 20-59 years and were divided into four age groups: 20 to 29 years (group A); 30 to 39 years (group B); 40 to 49 years (group C); and 50 to 59 years (group D). Conventional lumbar separation was performed by removing soft tissue and subsidiary structures, leaving only the vertebral body. The vertebral body was cut into halves along the median sagittal plane, maintaining the upper and lower end-plates of each half, and used for biomechanical, morphological, and density measurements.
RESULTSComparing group A to B, the rod-like trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) decreased; the trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) increased; the plate-like Tb.Th decreased; bone mineral density, tissue mineral density, bone volume fraction, and bone surface fraction decreased, and the elastic modulus and the ultimate stress decreased (all changes P < 0.05). Similar significant (P < 0.05) trends were obtained when comparing group C to D. With aging, the collagen cross-linking capacity declined, the thickness of the collagen fibrils was variable (ranging from almost the same to loose, sparse, or disordered), and the finer collagen fibrils between the thick filaments were disorganized.
CONCLUSIONSIn women aged 20 to 59 years, the rod-like and plate-like Tb.Th of the vertebral body decreased, while Tb.Sp increased. Additionally, the density, elastic modulus, and ultimate stress of the cancellous bone decreased with age. These associated changes in bone microstructure, density, and biomechanics with age may lead to an increasing risk of osteoporosis and fracture.
